Great.
Nice.

Serves well as a reference
I’m very satisfied. Sometimes you just need to check the word’s spelling, or quickly check what the term means. I found the definitions to be very simple and easy to understand, and there was just one word (so far) that wasn’t in the book (maybe because it’s supposed to be a common-use word (“conscious“ is not in the book, but “conscience” is, lol ) The book is lightweight (advantage because I can carry it around) because of thin paper (disadvantage for some).I’d say, if you want a dictionary to reference it in the real legal documents – buy Black’s, but if for personal reference- this one is just fine!

This is still a great dictionary but as a first year student and out of school for 10+ years it’s a little bit harder to understand somethings.I’m still giving a higher amount of stars because this will more than likely be more useful once my understanding of everything is better 🙂
